Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

As a sufferer of sever OCD for many years, it is thanks to my sessions with Dan that I now feel I have a new lease of life and am more able to enjoy more of the freedoms that I previously restricted myself from.

Thanks Dan - I feel a new man.* 

— Nicholas, West London

Smoking cessation

After years of trying different ways of stopping smoking and several hypnosis experiences. I’m now 5 months smoke free. Dan tailored my sessions to focus on my triggers and took time to listen and prepare me to stop for good. Thanks again Dan*.

— Simon, sales, Kingston

Clinical depression and suicidal ideation

To anyone reading this, don’t put off getting help any longer. Whatever your problem, I’m certain Growth Hypnosis can help you overcome it in a way far greater than you even imagined possible. Dan has an amazing ability to make his techniques and advice relevant to whatever struggle you have. Going to him with a number of crippling issues, he was able to tailer different techniques to tackle and fix each problem in just a handful of sessions. I’m still amazed at my transformation from the mental state I was in at the start, to where I am now. I’m so grateful to Dan for my new positive outlook on life and there is no reason why he can’t do the same for you*.

Bulimia

Six years ago, I developed bulimia. It started off as a little bad habit, but soon exploded into an unhealthy and miserable addition. My relationships suffered and my health quickly deteriorated, causing me to be hospitalised twice. I became desperate and attempted a range of unsuccessful recovery attempts; these included counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy and even anti-depressants. None of these made me even begin to improve and I began to think recovery was an impossibility.Since starting hypnotherapy sessions with Dan, my life has been completely transformed in a way I never thought possible. Primarily, Dan helped me to realise I possessed capabilities I was not aware of – the ability to step back from madness and truly relax. He possesses an insightful, professional nature which meant I always felt comfortable and relaxed when in trance.As a result of only a few sessions and his attentive, continued support, my whole mind set and approach to eating began to change. My self-esteem continues to heal and I cannot remember when I last truly felt this happy.Dan’s support extended beyond the actual hypnotherapy session as he promoted calmness by equipping me with strategies to help manage stress that I could utilise in my day to day life no matter where I was or what I was doing. He also helped me to understand my negative behaviours and positively change my bad habits. Dan encouraged me to complete little focussed tasks in-between sessions, which I believed has allowed for an enduring recovery.I am now enjoying improved relationships with my partner, friends and family. My performance at work and quality of life has completely reformed and, after six years of torment and misery, I finally have my life back. As the hypnosis helped my bulimic urges to diminish, I now have much improved health, renewed energy and more time to spend doing the things I enjoy, with a new, calm outlook.Thank you does not even come close to how grateful I am to Dan Stanbury and his support*

Binge eating disorder

I went to see Dan as I was having recurring issues with binge eating.I was finding myself eating to buffer my stress and to stop feeling anything to be honest after launching my business and the stress that comes with being your own boss!I have tried a lot of techniques and as a nutritionist and trainer I know exactly what to do but I had let habits take over.Dan and I only worked together for very few sessions but I got such quick results with my mindset and focus and I haven’t ‘binged’ since!*

— Lucy, entrepreneur, South West London

Bulimia

I would recommend hypnotherapy to anyone. You don’t have to believe in this type of therapy, but you just need to have an open mind to this kind of approach. Personally, I have suffered from eating disorders for 10 years, previously anorexia and more recently bulimia. I have tried many things including drug therapy in hospital and 1:1 counselling etc . As you can imagine, nothing previously helped. When I found the Growth Hypnosis web site I was in a really bad emotional state. After a few months I can fully admit that trying therapy with Growth Hypnosis was one of the best decisions in my life.*

— Marta, student, Poland

Social anxiety, low self-esteem and depression

 I came to Dan with severe low self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression to name but a few of my struggles. After one session I felt calmer. After two sessions I felt hopeful that this might actually work! Through a combination of ongoing CBT and hypnosis I have begun to discover who I am and regain control of my life. I am so thankful.*

— Sam, student, Cumbria

Social anxiety, panic attacks and depression

I saw Dan for a couple of sessions after suffering many years with anxiety, panic attacks and depression. I found Dan’s approach extremely professional and highly effective. Within days of seeing Dan, I was able to enjoy my life more with much reduced anxiety, my panic attacks were eliminated and my general outlook on life was increasingly positive. I would highly recommend Dan and his excellent, proactive, collaborative approach to anyone suffering with anxiety and panic attacks, thank you Dan for putting me on a good path ahead.*

Performance anxiety - playing piano and fear of criticism

I started learning the piano a year ago. Gradually over this time I found it more and more difficult to play during the lesson and began feeling very nervous and sick with dread each week. I had no idea what was happening and how to correct it except for giving up! I have now had four sessions with Dan and have very quickly and effectively made progress on this and other areas of my life that were impacting on the way I felt and behaved. Dan has a range of treatments that turn a troubling situation into a positive one. The treatments are sensitively administered and you are in a reassuring environment at all times.*

— Amanda, teacher, South West London

General anxiety disorder (GAD) and fear of flying

I had always been interested in the practice of hypnotherapy but I was sceptical at first, given the extravagant claims that appear on the internet. However, after my sessions with Dan I can honestly say I am a true believer in the practice. I have come away with so much more than I expected, not only do I feel more confident about flying but I now have a remarkable toolkit that I can draw on in everyday life. My sessions with Dan have changed my perspective on life and helped me to truly understand myself. If you are hesitating to book a session, please don’t, it may change your life as it has changed mine.*

— Katy, data analyst, South West London

Fear of flying

I was only able to attend one session but even that one proved very helpful! The process was clearly explained to me and I felt safe and comfortable at all times. Dan is very professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend Growth Hypnosis* 

— Lexi, student, Manchester

Claustrophobia

After one session I found the process really make a difference and after two sessions I felt that I could tackle most things. However, I have to keep on practising and working on it – it’s not all easy but when I put the methods Dan taught me to work then any situation I find myself in becomes clearer, easier and I feel I am able to calm myself down. Before seeing Dan I would no way enter a lift and always find an alternative route. Now I can enter lifts – go up and down easily and even go in on my own. This is something I would not have thought I could ever do. So it is work in progress and the more I practise then the easier it becomes. Dan is easy to talk to, calm and very professional. I would highly recommend him to others looking for professional help – it has definitely worked for me.*

Mouse phobia

I’ve had a phobia of mice for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t so much of a problem in the past, but recently l been living with a cat who likes to show her appreciation with regular gifts of live mice. It sounds funny now, but at the time I found I was completely unable to deal with the situation. I’d freeze or have to run out of the room until someone else managed to catch and remove the mouse. I was a bit sceptical about hypnotherapy initially, but after a couple of sessions with Dan I found my reactions were greatly reduced. I still don’t really like mice but I feel my response is much more normal and I’m now quite capable of catching or chasing the little things out of the house all by myself. I’d absolutely recommend Growth Hypnosis for anyone with any sort of phobia.*

— John, television executive, Wimbledon

Confidence, self worth and body image

I contacted Dan to see if he could help me with body image and confidence issues; I wanted to feel happier and more positive when I looked in the mirror and to have a feeling of self-worth and acceptance. I have had hypnotherapy before (many years ago) and whilst being a little sceptical about whether it could work this time round, I was open to the suggestion of hypnotherapy and its possible remedy. In two short sessions Dan has put light in my life, given me a new found confidence and made me walk a little taller. Through a combination of hypnosis and CBT, I feel I now have the tools to banish negative thoughts, feel good about who I am and see that I have the power to create my own happiness. I cannot recommend him enough - he’s like a real life magician!*

— Georgie, self employed, South West London

Confidence coping with Vitigilo

I was very impressed with how well prepared Dan was in researching my particular issue and how he could help. At each session he had a clear plan and list of ‘tools’ for me to take away and continue my therapy outside of the sessions. Since seeing Dan his hypnotherapy sessions really helped me address my issues and provided me long term tools to manage my condition. I’m grateful for Dan’s assistance and would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy.*

— Omar, professional investigator, South London

Confidence and performance enhancement in sport

I saw Dan twice recently before my first ever boxing fight. I was very aware how much the brain and “mind set” played a part in winning and wanted to ensure I covered this aspect of my training as well as the physical side of it.I have no doubt at all that the hypnotherapy helped me win, the positive suggestions eliminated any doubt and visualising the fight from start to finish meant that on the night, it all felt familiar and not daunting at all.The recordings also meant that I could listen to the positive affirmations as often as I’d like or felt I needed to.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone who wanted to achieve a similar goal or dream or for anyone who wants the edge over their competitor!*
